The precautions we take to handle these solutions is to wear safety goggles, lab coat and also the hand gear (this is also important).

KOH (potassium hydroxide), which is a strong base and HCL (hydrochloric acid) which is a strong base and both these solutions dissociates completely in water. So, whenever you are working in laboratory with chemicals you must be careful.
